"Outrageous Owls"

I just finished this design.   This was a fun stitch.   "Outrageous Owls" by Glendon Place.   I used 14 ct hand-dyed greenish/teal adia with DMC threads.  I haven't decided yet on how I will do the finishing part.

Japanese Garden Update

 
I've made a bit of progress since my last update.  I've stitched the entire back square and a good part of the lower left corner ornament.

"Frozen Spheres" - FINISHED !!!!!!!

I finally finished 'Frozen Spheres" by Frank Lloyd Wright!!!!!  It took me almost 6 months off and on while stitching other small projects on the side to keep me going!   It will be framed!   Now I can move on to another BAP from my stash bins.    Decision, decision, which BAPs should I stitch next?

Japanese Garden Update

I pulled out Japanese Garden.  With any luck, I hope to have it finished by the end of 2014. 


I did the purple specialty stitches on the right side and the water/bridge on the right.  I also did the blue sparklies in both crane medallions.  It's been quite a while since I've seen the bottom part of the pagoda!

"Children of the Rising Sun"

I finished "Children of the Rising Sun" !!!   Happy Dance!!    The chart is from MarNic Designs.  Stitched on 28 ct Lagana using DMC, Splendor and Gentle Arts threads.  Bead work on head band, moccasin, drum handle and some on feathers.   The feathers was a challenge for me.

just thought I'd post an update

She is getting close to be done, very little stitching left to do, just a little bit in the basket at her feet and then a little bit in the dream catcher, as well as the netting of the dream catcher.  I was hoping to post a finish by the end of July, but most likely will be the end of August.  I'm beading at the bottom of the skirt and have more done than this picture shows - I'm almost 1/2 done.  But I'm almost out of beads, so need to go and get all of the colors and then I won't need to worry.  Last time I only got the dark blue - and now I'm out of the light blue, low on the white and the orange beads.  I've still got lots of the yellow, but don't want to risk it.   

I have one finish to show off.  It's the Halloween Tree by M Design.  I'm happy with the finish and can't wait to get it framed and hanging at my office.  I had to re-do the top 3 letters 3 times on both sides before I got it right.  Counting was everything :)
